I have a RaspberryPI here. Had it setup with xbmc and used it to stream films from a friends server using a vpn network. Worked grand but after a few weeks the novelty was gone. Use it now as a vpn server to access my router etc. from abroad. Sky Germany and Sky Ireland are enough for me TV wise.

My only reservation with buying one ,is that after a few weeks all I will be using it for is a 3pm game on Saturday's.
I can get all the films and TV shows I need on torrents ,so what other uses could I get from this ? |

It does have live TV but I already have all the sky channels so not sure what I would use it for bar 3pm ko's and games not on sky/setanta/BT. Do you have an android phone or tablet ? Edited by rossieman - 14 Sep 2014 at 12:59am |

Anyone with a android phone or tablet should check out this.sets up xbmc and is the easiest way I have seen. http://koditime.com/ It takes about 5 minutes to set up and will give you a huge library of TV/films and streams. An android TV box is the same thing really. Edited by rossieman - 14 Sep 2014 at 12:43pm |

Thing is you wont need netflix afterwards as you will have access to every film/tv show you could want and its free. |
